Subject: drm/nouveau/kms/nv50: skip core channel cursor update on position-only changes
From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e6db95799b1b870aae15682a6d0898df9e9dfb38 upstream.
The DRM core used to only call prepare_fb/cleanup_fb() when a plane's
framebuffer changed, which achieved the desired effect.
It's apparently now up to the driver to decide on its own.
